Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 336

Zhangjiakou, Shengtong Commercial Bank, this is a newly opened commercial firm, and its experience in Zhangjiakou is still very low, but the background of this commercial firm opened by Shandong people is very strong. It is said that the relationship is all the way to the capital. They all sent the plaques in person, and some people also greeted the eight major firms, saying that there are big shots in the business of BJ, and they should take care of them.

Therefore, although this firm has been in business for a short time, it can definitely be ranked in the second echelon of Zhangjiakou firms in terms of strength. The first echelon is the eight major Shanxi merchants, and the second echelon is their group.

Moreover, the most powerful thing about Shengtong Commercial Bank is that he has a strong network of connections, but in this era, he has been able to obtain food continuously. This ability further proves that Shengtong Commercial Bank is extraordinary.

"Ah, Mr. Fan."

Inside Shengtong Commercial Bank, a young shopkeeper who seemed to be in his early twenties bowed his hands to Fan Yongdou. Seeing this, Fan Yongdou smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, you came today without invitation, what a bother."

The young man said: "Mr. Fan, sit down quickly. If an elder like you can come to my Shengtong account, it will give me face. The younger generation is full of glory."

"Hahaha... Shopkeeper Zhao is being polite. I don't want to hide it from Shopkeeper Zhao. I came this time to ask for our Shengtong number."

"Oh, where can the junior help the senior?"

Fan Yongdou took a sip of tea and said, "Master Zhao, I don't hide this matter from you. I need a batch of food urgently. I know that your Shengtong has a wide road and there is no shortage of food, so I was thinking about whether I can sell it to you at Shengtong." Tonghao bought some grain to meet the urgent need."

Shopkeeper Zhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard the words: "Hahaha... Shopkeeper Fan, you are flattering us. We sell some grains and make a small fuss. You made a lot of money by trading in Liaodong. I can help you What are you busy with?"

Fan Yongdou is a fine man, he immediately understood what he meant when he heard this, he wanted to get involved in Liaodong's business.

The trade route between Zhangjiakou and Liaodong is almost monopolized by the eight major merchants, and it is difficult for others to get involved. This is also the capital of the eight major merchants. Now that the shopkeeper Zhao said so, he obviously wants to take the opportunity to buy shares.

Fan Yongdou took a sip of tea and said: "Liaodong is very big, and there is also a lot of silver, which is more than enough for the eight of us to eat and rub. Even if there are one or two more, it will not be a problem. Shopkeeper Zhao is interested."

"Yes, too much."

Shopkeeper Zhao didn't hide his desire at all. Fan Yongdou laughed after hearing this, "Then I won't hide from Shopkeeper Zhao. My batch of grain is for Man Qing. If Shopkeeper Zhao helps me complete this transaction, I will Introduce a big person to shopkeeper Zhao."

"Oh, big man, how old is it?"

Fan Yongdou said with a smile, "A prince from the Qing Dynasty."

"Prince!"

Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes widened after hearing this, and he said with a smile: "That's a good relationship, so thank you Fan Gong."

Fan Yongdou said with a smile, "The food?"

Shopkeeper Zhao patted his chest and said, "It's on me. Shengtong still has [-] dans of food in storage near Shanxi. First, bring it to Zhangjiakou. If it's not enough, I'll go to other places to raise funds to make sure Mr. Fan is satisfied."

"Oh, that's great, by the way, what's the price?"

"Haha~ Fair price, according to this year's fair price in Shanxi, I will never ask for an extra cent."

"Okay, then I will be in charge of Shopkeeper Zhao."

Fan Yongdou cupped his hands, and shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile: "Fan Gong, it's about the prince."

"It's all about Fan. After this incident, there should be nine families in Zhangjiakou instead of eight."

"Okay, Mr. Fan Fan is so kind."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, hahaha..."

……

The two looked at each other and smiled, with hypocritical politeness on each other's faces, and soon Fan Yongdou left. Fan Yongdou got out of the Shengtong and got into the carriage. In the carriage sat Fan Yongdou's younger brother, Fan Yongfa. The one who ransacked once is also the current No. [-] member of the Fan family.

Fan Yongfa looked at Fan Yongdou and said, "Brother, why did you agree to recommend Zhao to see the Prince Manqing just now?"

Fan Yongdou said: "The food in Zhangjiakou is so tight now, we have to find someone to share the risk. His Shengtong is backed by a big tree and has enough food, so he happens to be a good partner. I understand what you are worried about. The fat meat in Liaodong The division has been made a long time ago, and at this time, Shengtong is introduced, one more competitor, one more risk."

"That's right, brother, now that the sea merchants in Zhejiang are about to move, and we are still attracting people, I'm afraid this piece of fat will get smaller and smaller."

Fan Yongfa said, and Fan Yongdou said with a smile: "What are you worried about? Even if Shengtong Hao joins in, the share he wants to share will also be shared by several other companies. The shares of our Fan family will remain unchanged. The ones who will be worried at that time are Huang Yunfa and others." The family at the bottom of the ranking can be overtaken if you don’t pay attention.”

After hearing this, Fan Yongfa blinked and said, "You mean to let Shengtong account replace Huang Yunfa?"

Fan Yongdou said with a sneer, "The Huang family was born as a horse thief. Before they made a fortune, they robbed our family of goods a few times. Later, although Mang Gurtai recommended him to start doing business with Liaodong, we accepted him because of Mang Gurtai's face. But now that Mang Gurtai is dead, and there are rumors that he wants to rebel, the backstage of the Huang family has collapsed, but the Huang family doesn't know it, and has refuted our Fan family's face many times, if we don't take action to punish After a while, I'm afraid no one will know, this family is our Fan family's final decision."

After hearing this, Fan Yongfa said: "Gao, it's really high, brother, this time you let Shengtong enter the game in the name of recommending the Prince of Manchu. At this time, we can save a lot of money by selling grain at a fair price, and then we can use the Shengtong account to enter the game, and let the Shengtong account compete with Huang Yunfa and others.

Fan Yongdou smiled, a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Boss, that old man Fan Yongdou has left."

Fan Yongdou left, at this time in the Shengtong account, shopkeeper Zhao was drinking tea with a teapot, at this moment the waiter at the side came over and said, shopkeeper Zhao said: "It's good to go, by the way, how are the preparations going?" ?”

"Boss, everything is ready, our brothers have all dispersed, and the Eight Great Families are being closely watched, and none of them can escape."

After hearing this, shopkeeper Zhao said: "Well, don't make any mistakes. Boss Bai can tell you that this task is under the personal attention of the county lord. If it fails, we will have no face to go back to Lantian."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, our brothers have all undergone strict training, and several of them are scouts in the army. It's easy for a merchant's family to see."

Shopkeeper Zhao nodded after hearing this and said, "That's true."

After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Zhao sighed and said: "I have been lurking in this house for more than a year, and finally waited until the county lord was about to close the net. After finishing this vote, I will be transferred to the Lantian secret spy department as the head. I'm happy just thinking about it, hey, Zhang Min, do you know that your sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, I haven't seen it yet, when this mission is over, I'll go back and take a good look at my eldest son, Hahaha."

Looking at Shopkeeper Zhao like this, Zhang Min said: "Shopkeeper, don't think about good things, have you forgotten the county lord's ban?"

As soon as Shopkeeper Zhao said this, he immediately shook the beautiful images in his head. The county officials have banned all secret agents from recalling any family images before performing their missions, including missing their daughter, daughter-in-law, and parents. , Xian Zun said that once these people are thought of, the probability of accidents will be greatly increased, and the risk factor will also increase exponentially, so random thinking is not allowed.

The spies didn't understand what the county lord meant, but the county lord only said something that everyone couldn't understand: that's how it was done in the movies.

What is a movie?
Everyone doesn't know it at all, but the words of the county lord are the words of the county lord, as long as you follow it, so everyone is not allowed to miss your family before doing the task. Of course, you have to secretly think that no one will know, but sharing is absolutely not allowed.

Zhang Min looked at Shopkeeper Zhao and said, "Shopkeeper, why did you say that you wanted to meet the Lord Tartar through Fan Yongdou?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile after hearing this: "This is a tactic to delay the attack, and the purpose is to win their trust. If we show no desires, they will find it hard to believe us, but once we show desires, the other party will think that we are determined." Yes, according to page 38 of our secret spy training manual, article [-], written by the county lord himself: If you want to win the trust of others, the best way is to have something to do, or to ask for help. When you ask for help, people will I feel that I can hold you, and at the same time lower my vigilance, this is the only way to win trust."

Zhang Min nodded and said, "So that's the case, what's next?"

Zhang Mindao: "When Brigadier Commander Wang Guixiang's cavalry approach the city, then we will take Zhangjiakou."

……

A group of cavalrymen were chasing and killing a group of horse thieves on the grassland.

"Kill! Kill them all."

"Yes."

ah, ah, ah~
Wang Guixiang looked at the corpses and boxes of goods on the ground, and frowned. The corpses on the ground were obviously divided into two groups, one group was a group of businessmen walking on the grassland, and the other group was a group of guys dressed as horse thieves.

A merchant is killed by a horse thief, and a horse thief is killed by him.

"Brigadier, catch it, this is what they lead."

At this time, Wang Guixiang came to the crowd on horseback, and saw a slightly obese, burly man being escorted to kneel on the ground. At this moment, Wang Guixiang kowtowed and said: "Good man, spare your life, good man, spare your life..."

Wang Guixiang looked at the burly man kneeling on the ground and said: "Who are you, why are you robbing the caravan here, don't you know this is our territory?"

"Hero, please spare my life. I haven't done this business for a long time. I don't know that this place has already belonged to the hero. I ask the hero to spare my life."

The burly and strong man kowtowed like garlic, Wang Guixiang looked at the strong man and said, "Oh, so you are also good men doing business on this road?"

The brawny man said: "I used to be a horse thief in this grassland with our master. The hero sees that we are all green forests. Please spare my life."

"Your master? Who is it?"

Wang Guixiang asked. Hearing this, the burly and strong man was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Wang Guixiang smiled and said: "Maybe there is a friendship. If you tell me, your life may be saved."

Hearing this, the burly man said: "Huang, Huang Yunfa."

"Huang Yunfa?"

Wang Guixiang frowned, isn't this their goal this time, the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants?
"The old man in Zhangjiakou also started a business without money?"

Wang Guixiang asked, and after hearing this, the burly man said: "There is no other way. The Qing masters asked our master to pay for the food. Our master does not have enough capital, so we have no choice but to come out and resume our old business to subsidize some household expenses."

Wang Guixiang nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case. By the way, how many people have you come out this time?"

The burly man heard this and said: "28 people."

"Oh."

Wang Guixiang gave his subordinates a look, and his subordinates immediately went to count the killed horse thieves. Wang Guixiang was marching from here just now, and saw a group of horse thieves cleaning the battlefield. It was obvious that they had just robbed a group of small merchants and killed their people, planning to occupy them Originally, Wang Guixiang didn't want to take care of this kind of thing.

But these people saw the army marching, so don't leak the military situation, so Wang Guixiang issued an order to kill the grass and roots, and finally left a living person to check some situations.

Wang Guixiang's men went to search for it, and when they came back soon, they looked at Wang Guixiang and said, "Brigadier, one is missing, and there are 27 people in total."

"Have you added him?"

Wang Guixiang pointed to the strong man, we can't do the stupid thing of riding a donkey to find a donkey, and his subordinates said: "Forget it, one less."

Wang Guixiang said: "Gather all the corpses and let him identify them."

"Yes."

Soon Wang Guixiang's subordinates lined up all the people and let the strong man identify them. The strong man looked around and finally said tremblingly: "Short, the second young master is missing, Huang Guilu."

"Second Young Master Huang Guilu?"

Wang Guixiang muttered, and the strong man said: "That's right, it's the second young master. When we do business, we must be followed by the Huang family's descendants. This is the rule left at the beginning. Our master, Huang, Huang Yunfa has been hollowed out by wine all these years." Body and family matters are managed by the second young master."

"Second young master, where's your eldest young master?"

Wang Guixiang asked, and the strong man said: "The eldest young master is the heir to the family business, how can he let such dirty work get his hands on it."

After hearing this, Wang Guixiang sneered and said: "Huang Yunfa has a good plan. The eldest son will be a clean man to inherit the family business, and the second son will be a horse thief. In the future, black and white will take everything."

The strong man didn't dare to speak. At this moment, Wang Guixiang suddenly saw that the head of the caravan leader who was robbed at the beginning was gone: "Where's the head?"

The brawny man said: "Cut it off, cut it off, and hang it on my horse. According to our rules, this head will be pickled with salt and sold to their family members for money."

"What? The murderer, even pickled the head and asked the family for money, you are really inferior to animals, let me ask you again, did you see where your second young master went?"

Hearing this, the strong man shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see it."

Wang Guixiang nodded when he heard the words: "Very good, I dragged it down and slaughtered it, my head was salted, I will go back to Huang Yunfa to exchange money..."

"Ah, good man, can't, can't... woo woo..."

After Wang Guixiang finished speaking, someone dragged the strong man away and covered his mouth.

At the same time, Wang Guixiang said: "Come here, send a small team to hunt down Huang Guilu, the second young master of the Huang family, and the rest of them will speed up to Zhangjiakou, and try to reach Zhangjiakou before dawn tomorrow."

"Yes."
